Understand the world. Think for yourself.
Every day I read 50+ sources so you don't have to. Then I run what I find through game theory — and tell you what the players are actually doing on the board. No football jerseys. No mainstream script. Just a story you'll remember and frameworks you'll keep using.
No spam. Daily analysis you won't get from the news.

Wake up understanding WHY
The news cycle is designed to keep you reactive. Headlines in, anxiety out, scroll again. I give you the lens that makes you proactive. Every morning you'll see the patterns behind the noise — not because you're smarter, but because you have a different framework.
Mental models that rewire how you think
The same frameworks I use to connect dots—game theory, supply chain logic, resource nationalism—you'll get access to them. This isn't about memorizing concepts. It's about seeing the board differently. Once you learn to think like a strategist, you can't go back to being a headline reader.
No paywall. No gated wisdom.
Here's what most newsletters get wrong: they hide value behind a paywall and wonder why no one trusts them. I publish freely. Yes, the deep-dives are for members. But the public stuff? That's real analysis, not teaser fluff. You decide if I'm worth trusting — after you've seen the work.
The news doesn't want you to understand. It wants you polarized and clicking.
Every day I read more than 50 sources — wire services, think tanks, regional press, primary documents. Over time, I realized the gap between what's actually happening on the board and what the mainstream narrative sells you is not a gap. It's a canyon. The news wants you reactive, tribal, and engaged. I wanted the opposite: clarity, frameworks, and a way to see what the players are actually doing.
So I started running what I find through game theory — Prisoner's Dilemma, signaling games, coordination problems — and writing about it in a way that sticks. Not a report. A story. Something you read once and remember when the next headline hits.
This newsletter isn't about telling you what to think. It's about giving you the board, the players, the payoffs — and letting you think for yourself.

See my work →What's your background?
I'm not a diplomat or an academic. I'm someone who reads 50+ sources a day, connects them through game theory, and writes about what I see. That's the credential — the work itself. If you want polished credentials, there are plenty of newsletters for that. If you want someone who does the reading and shows you the frameworks, you're in the right place.
What makes this different from other newsletters?
Most newsletters aggregate the news. I decode it. Game theory gives me a framework to see what the players are doing and what comes next — then I tell it like a story, not a report. You'll get the analysis, the probability assessments, and the investment implications. But you'll also get something you'll actually remember.
Why should I trust your analysis?
I don't ask you to trust me. I show you my frameworks so you can verify the logic yourself. My goal is to help you think, not to tell you what to believe. You'll always see my reasoning—judge it yourself.
